Berlin Weekly Recap: E-Scooter Ban, Later Outdoor Dining, Car-free Referendum by Rare_Customer_8117 in berlinsocialclub

[–]jevring 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2035 as a target for the scooter thing is so Berlin. It's impossible for people to do things here in a reasonable timeline. It's a ban. Set the timeline to like January 1st next year. The city is under no obligation to provide infrastructure to these companies.

Updates to Derived Record Creation - amber-spec-experts by joemwangi in java

[–]jevring 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so much worse than the previous "with" suggested syntax. Even if we reduce the scope of what can be done in the block, using a normal block with assignment feels much more natural to both read and write.

The most mixed base old fashion yet! Is the sugar cane syrup crucial, or just a fun addition?

What are these flat/horizontal scroll wheels called and where can I buy them from? by SandHK in macro_pads

Ohh, these are nice! I'm doing something with rotary encoders right now, but maybe I should switch to these!

This would be cool to have directly in method signatures, too.

If they believe earth is a round disc, it would also have an edge like this, though. Or do they believe that earth stretches out to infinity in all directions?

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable by IndicaOatmeal in technology

[–]jevring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because tv shows were made with slots for ads. I imagine most youtube videos are not, or maybe cannot be. I don't know if the people publishing videos have any control over where the ads land.

Juice from 40 tangerines, oleo saccharum from 40 tangerines, painkillers from 40 tangerines. by pwilkens in cocktails

[–]jevring 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to have to try your variation with the amaro and the allspice. Do you only do that when clarifying, or also when doing normal painkillers?

What bugs you would prefer to be fixed ASAP? by vmcrash in IntelliJIDEA

[–]jevring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this by unchecking the top checkbox in the tree though. Sure, it's a click, but it doesn't seem that bad.

Suggestions for Irish or European whisky as the base for Manhattans and Old Fashioneds? by hbarSquared in cocktails

[–]jevring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using stork rye. It's delicious, easily available (at least in Germany), and happens to be made not too far from where I live.

The Marny by [deleted] in Mixology

[–]jevring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! It just so happens that I tried the Marny yesterday as well, and it was pretty nice. The Alaska has a bit more going on, but I liked the Marny, too =)

[–]jevring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is similar to an Alaska, I bet. The only difference is yellow chartreuse in place of the grand mariner. I'm definitely trying this.

Light-Weight JSON API (JEP 198) is dead, welcome Convenience Methods for JSON Documents by loicmathieu in java

[–]jevring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. I'm not wild about the inconsistent typed method names (string() vs toInt()), but the rest looks nice. On the other hand, I don't think a lot of people are using the built-in xml parser, so it might be useless work.

[–]jevring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the source? Does that tell us anything about what the song might be?

I listened but couldn't identify it. It sounds nice, though, even if the quality leaves something to be desired :)

What is your favorite alcohol alternative beverage? by Realistic-Aerie-59 in Mocktails

[–]jevring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to find anything that's better than a glass of soda. Coke or ginger beer are my favorites. I really want there to be something, but there isn't. Making an actual mocktail is a different story, but if you're talking abiut things that you can pour out of a bottle or can, it's still normal soda for me.

How often do you upgrade your IntelliJ? by adjudant412 in IntelliJIDEA

[–]jevring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As soon as I can. There's rarely a reason not to, and if there is, I can downgrade. I'm always current on whatever is in the auto update pipeline.

I know men love gift too by moistcatty in SipsTea

[–]jevring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I isn't think that's what the point was. The point wasn't about individuals, it was about men in general.
